Duke, Please Repent! chapter 234

43. The Duke and the Demon of Darkness (9)

By the way, the realms of the Empire are all protected by the Holy Barrier. Aren't they all maintained as sacred stones? Is there anything like theft?"

"Not all holy barriers are maintained with holy stones, and if there is a sacred stone, it will be used first, but usually it is maintained through holy water."

I know roughly what it feels like.

As it is a barrier that protects a territory, the security will be strict.

If I risked my life and hid in such a place, Shin Seong-seok was nowhere to be found, and only holy water was fluttering, and I would be inexhaustible.

Luckily, even if there is a sacred stone, if it is cloudy and hazy and has no commercial value, that is also a loss.

Still, those who will try will try, but most of them will be beaten.

However, the sacred stone is just divine power.

You can charge it by blowing it in, but how do you manage the holy water?'

As I imagined changing the holy water little by little like changing the water in a fishbowl, I didn't feel the sanctity of even an eye drop.

"The situation in Rivelon's territory would be similar], it seems he wasn't really interested in the business."

Serpens widened his eyes and added four legs.

It is a warning not to be suspicious of the information that comes up when you look inside your head.

That's for Dad and Karon-hyung to figure out.

I would. Ah! Does Vivi make sacred stones for the Count of Rivelon?"

It could be.

Serpence nodded in agreement with my words with a serious expression.

This conversation was established because he knew that the contents of Vivi were actually Zion.

Eugenes, not knowing this, looked at us with his arms raised saying, 'My brother/guardian is a genius!'

Apparently, Bibi is just a one-year-old baby, so other people can't see it.

It sounds like an absurd story.

'Wait a minute? Getting older when the sun goes down is the same as where I used to live... .'

I stopped overlooking it.

The fact that this place starts counting from 0, and the country I live in starts eating one year old immediately after birth.

'Based on the age-counting standards here . I'm the same age as Serpens... ?'

I carefully reviewed the contents of [Master of the Holy Sword].

Come to think of it, it's not the 25th year since the Holy Sword came down, but the Holy Sword is mine.

25 years have passed since the beginning of the year. Or, it seems that he expressed that he chose the owner of 'Genie Seo'.

'Isn't it a little cheesy?'

It's been a long time since I've read it, but I can't help but remember such a detailed expression.

Now that I think about it, it's just a feeling that I wish I had.

He glanced at Serpens sitting next to him.

The guy who received the gaze tilted his head as if there was something wrong.

Clear, transparent green eyes gleamed with pure light.

'Okay, let's pretend we don't know!'

After all, he was (twenty) six years old.

Even if I count my age based on this place, it's 匸下 that I'm twenty years older.

My birthday is earlier, too, and Zion's body, who has come in now, is definitely twenty-seven.

when considered in many ways.

I can't deny that I'm an older brother than Serpense even if God Luxmea comes.

The truth and the unchanging truth.

Other than that, you can hang cinnamon-flavored candy that Serpens hates.

"How is the Prasidus estate? Do you also use the sacred stone made by Serpens?"

Eugene raised his hand and asked Serpens a question.

The shoulder of the guy who was asked the question shuddered, and then he drooped down.

No. I've tried many times, but... Maybe it's because there are already two Holy Stones, I'm not sure I'm desperate.

It failed.

"Two?!"

In response to Serpence's answer, Euges opened his eyes and asked a question.

He seems to be more concerned about that story than the story that he couldn't create a sacred stone to protect his territory.

I was just talking about the fact that there are many more estates without the Holy Stone, so it was enough.

It's unfortunate.

"The one that my uncle made during the days of Sogaju, and the treasure of the church belonging to the estate in the territory.

It was donated by the director of Yukwon.

At his words, Amelia-sama's smiling face came to mind.

Is there a wish to protect the children of the nursery school?

And Eirich . I think I'll have to call him Godilrich-sama from now on.

'You mean that you regularly visit the Phrasidus Spirits to recharge your divine power, right?'

Serpence This child said, 'Thank you, Uncle! I love you!' and making a heart above his head, he can't help but love him.

Even thinking about it again, Uncle did too much.

So I shot him fiercely.

Rather than that, what is important now is not the sacred stone of Prasidus Territory.

Oh, that's right. I'm sorry.

He turned away from my gaze and encouraged Eugene to return to the point.

There was another culprit for the story to go sideways, but Eugese apologized with a look of disappointment.

"Are you sure that the sacred stone will come up at the auction tomorrow?"

I checked it again the other day, but it's still not on the list.

"I still have to attend the auction house."

Upon hearing Serpence's answer, Eugene muttered with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Those who come after a holy stone that is sure to be sold at a high price would be rich merchants or nobles.

Even if it's not that, once the sacred stone

There must be many people who want to take a look.

The demons will aim for that time.

These guys who come and go in and out of the dark must have been sleeping, but I couldn't just let them die.

In [Master of the Holy Sword], the empire stumbled as the nobles entwined with the dark family escaped one after another, and eventually collapsed.

'Baby bastards, they used their heads... .'

This is because 匸t people are heartbroken.

Sincere love for each other

If there is, shouldn't it be a matter of exchanging divine holy stones with those with divine power?

Everyone is unhappy because they only have greed to possess the sacred stone.

What a heartbreaking popularity that such a pretty Shinseong-seok could not even be made because of the cruel and compassionate world!

Of course, I don't care because I have Shinseong-seok.

There is no Shin Sung-seok, but only me!

'As soon as you go out to the dark side, you should watch it with Yuji. to Xeon

Can I take a look at it sometime? And when you meet Hugh Manus, you must be proud!'

I was so proud of myself that I tapped my hand on the side of the chest where the pockets were located.

I raised one child really well.

"Zion, are you listening?"

Serpens frowned slightly and spoke. You must have noticed that I was thinking differently.

Yes? Ah, female]. I'm not listening. So, there, umm... What should I do?

It's not that Shion has to do something, I was talking while you were at the auction that it might be a good idea to check the secret doorway and gate side.

Instead of Serpense looking at me with pathetic eyes and exhaling a sigh, Eugese kindly explained the conversation they had gone through.

All those who have already entered will be flocked to the auction house, so he was talking about checking the number of additional people coming in.

If you use the spirit of the wind, you can

It is a mission that is perfect for her, as even a doctor can deliver it.

"Would there be some distance between the cave and the gated building?"

So I'm going to ask Tierra for the cave side. Oh! Tiera is my friend, the Earth Spirit.

I already knew it when I appeared in [Master of the Holy Sword], but as if I had heard it for the first time, I let out an exclamation of 'Aah~!'

The Spirit of Wind is Iron 1, the Spirit of Fire is Volkan, and the Spirit of Water is Mar. I remember it being that name.

It's not the name Euges gave,

Each had their own unique name.

There is a possibility that it can be detected as the distance is away, but you have to accept that. The purpose is to confirm that the demon worshipers are coming in anyway.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for both of us to ask the spirits and Eugene to stay with us?"

In case you don't know. If there is anything I can stop the demon worshipers from doing, I have to stop it.

As she said that, she smiled brightly.

" are you really okay with being alone?"

It seems that Serpens has definitely accepted Eugenes.

In the past, I would have said just like that, but now, with a worried face, he was showing anxiety.

Then he glanced at Winston.

You are asking with your eyes how about taking him as an escort.

If I take Winston-sama, who will protect Zion when a battle breaks out?

One arm is enough to wield a sword.

It means that you will fight with me with your other arm.

Of course, my opinion was not taken into account.

I will be safe from enemy attacks, but the safety of my semicircular canals will not be guaranteed, and as a result I will have to empty out what is inside.

Just imagining it is terrifying.

If a dangerous situation comes, I'll call for rescue and run away, so don't worry. It's better to be alone when hiding or running away.

Eugene said calmly, telling Serpense to be at peace.

Serpens nodded his head slightly, presumably thinking that she was right.

'However . How come it doesn't seem like it's turned into a winston dump? Is this okay?'

just as expected. Winston's complexion didn't look very good.

I don't feel very depressed or discouraged, so it didn't make it any better.

A face that seems to accept it calmly

all.

Then, can I stay next to Sir Winston if I have a car?

As I raised my hand and spoke, Winston looked at me with a surprised look.

I made eye contact with him and smiled.

"No matter what happens, I will definitely protect you."

thank you!

said Winston as if determined with determined eyes. It was very reliable.

However . Why does the side of the head sting a little?'

There was also an embarrassment on the face of Eugene, who should have been smiling warmly.

I didn't have the courage to check it out.

But you can't just pretend you don't know. I closed my eyes and turned my head.

I closed my eyes, so of course I couldn't see anything.

I slowly opened my eyes.

As expected. Serpens was looking at me with a look mixed with gloom and betrayal.

If you fight with me, the serpenes are uncomfortable. What if the bad guys just target me and attack me? I'm in danger too, but the serpenes might get hurt because they're trying to stop them, right?

uh .

I can understand it in my head, but my heart doesn't seem to be able to do that.

Serpens nodded, but his eyes were still droopy.

No, think about it! Serpens

If I move violently, won't I get motion sick too? Imagine you're in the middle of a fight and I'm vomiting. Dirty is also dirty, and if a serpent steps on it, ugh!

Oh, I see. Okay, now stop talking.

It was quicker for him to cover my mouth than to explain the different dangers of a tripping and falling.

Shock therapy is also the best.
